I'm not petite by any means and my butt and thighs have gotten smaller, not larger. I feel firmer, too. I've lost 14 pounds since I started, and I'm eating pretty good. I should probably eat a little less because the weight loss has slowed, but I'm happy.
And I know it's not just me, because my measurements have gone down and people are telling me I look smaller.

I don't think it's a matter of size as much as individual physiology...I can tell I've lost fat in a few places, but my thighs are definitely not any smaller - they're jut not any bigger right now either. And I agree with missjane - I think diet is a huge part of it. Some of us need to kick our metabolism up with more calories, some of us need to cut calories a little to see a consistent loss, and maybe some of us started out eating just right and are seeing the inches drop because our bodies are satisfied.
But man, I've been working my butt off in the gym, and every inch off my waist is like pulling a tooth. And I know I'm getting stronger, so it keeps my motivation up while I figure out the best way for my body to lose fat.
